After a war of words from both the competitive cricketing rivals, the hosts finally set things straight by getting the better of Australia in the fourth and final Test in Dharamsala to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.  The eight-wicket win came with incredible performances from all members of the team, especially the healthy contributions from the likes of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Umesh Yadav.

While the reason behind few of the nicknames are not clear, it can be easily assumed that KL Rahul is the stabilizer for stabilizing the Indian innings, Smith is a tube light for his ‘brain-fade’, Ashwin and Rahane and dessert coolers for their cool on-field demeanor.

Chasing 106 for a win, the hosts finished at 107 for two, losing the wickets of Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara. Opener KL Rahul (52 not out) and stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane (38 not out) remained unbeaten to take India home.

Earlier, when praises were pouring in from all quarters for Kuldeep Yadav, Virender Sehwag had a hilarious way of acknowledging the debutants 4-wicket haul.

“Is China ke maal ki lambi guarantee hai. India’s first ever Test Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav ,shaandaar firki le li Australia ki.”
